Chapter Eighty-Eight: Rouge Tears
Ignoring the obstruction of Orori. I walked into the temple resolutely. A white silk hanging on a beam looks particularly dazzling. I gently brushed the white silk with my hand. Walked into the inner room. The green calyx is wearing clothes one by one. Almost all the bright clothes were worn on the body.
The goose-yellow clothes reflect the pale face of the green calyx. Suddenly, I felt that the green calyx had lost a lot of weight. The royal blue dot emerald pearl hairpin on the head is crumbling. Yin Hong's thin lips opened slightly: "Master. You're here. I'm waiting for you. Thank you for coming to see the slave on her last journey."
The sound of the green calyx's "master" made my heart hurt. A sour nose. Tears welled up in my heart. I suppressed the tears in my heart and said, "I'm not here to see you off. I'm here to save you. I know everything about you and Su Zhong."
The green calyx was slightly stunned. Walked out of the inner room. I took a look at the bronze mirror on the rosewood dressing table. Said lightly: "It's all a dream. I met Su Zhong at Xihuamen. He was very nice to me. He should be the best person for me except for his master. That's how I conceived his child. But the master of the palace knows the rules. In order to save the lives of the slave and the slave and the child. The slave must give herself a name. But I didn't expect that the matter of the slave and the Su Zhong was discovered by the concubine. For example, the concubine said that as long as the slave and maid listen to her, she will keep the slave and maid safe."
I smiled wryly and said, "I know what you're thinking. But you told me about it. I'll figure it out for you. How did you get to where you are today?"
The green calyx glanced up at me. His eyes are full of grief. It's like the lonely hibiscus in the courtyard." Master. The slave knows that Rugui will not let me go. And the woman Wan Dieyi. The slave knew her mind for a long time. Except for the slave maid, she is the only confidant of the concubine. Xi Guiren is an embroidered pillow with a mouth, just a useless person. Wan Dieyi just wants to be the only person favored by the emperor."
I chuckled. The green calyx glanced up at the white silk on the beam. muttered: "Slaves don't like the feeling of suffocation. The slave is really scared."
"If the concubine wants to put you to death; Do you know something?" I asked anxiously.
The green calyx looked up and looked out the window. Turning around, he quietly grabbed my hand: "The slave knows too much. Queen's business. And there's something about the Phoenix Pier. Slaves and maids know."
I was shocked. Hurriedly asked, "Queen. Phoenix Pier. You know what."
The green calyx is about to speak. The expectation in his eyes was suddenly extinguished. Suddenly, he calmed down again. He said lightly, "Nothing."
Orori, who was wandering outside, suddenly walked in. Respectfully holding the decree in his hand. In a shrill voice, he said, "Spread the emperor's will. Suwan Guarjia's green calyx. Use Gu magic to spell the seventh elder brother and the queen mother. The stakes are high. can not be tolerated. and because of fornication with the guards; Hurts royal dignity. Surely kill a hundred to make an example. Summarily executed. All the palace maids who are close to them will be killed with a rod."
The green calyx let out a miserable wail. Two lines of crystal tears fell. He smiled and walked up to me, whispered in my ear, "Please, master. Save Su Zhong."
I nodded firmly with tears in my eyes. The green calyx glanced at the white aya. A small ceramic bottle was taken out of his bosom. There are a few delicate depictions of a few plums like blood. smiled and said, "This is what he gave me. It's a pity that such a good-looking white jade porcelain bottle. I used it to contain poison."
I shook my head. I didn't know how to answer. The green calyx head is upturned and gone. Then he sat down on the ground. A bright red plum blossom blooms at the corner of the mouth. I held the green calyx with trembling hands. Tears fell down her face. The green calyx looked at me weakly: "Actually. Poison I always carry with me. I know when I'm going to die. I'll repay you for your kindness in the next life."
I buried the green calyx's head in my arms. Choked and cried. The crimson blood stained the garment on my breast. Bloody tears flowed from the eyes of the green calyx. I suddenly remembered what my mother looked like when she died. and his heart was even more painful.
It suddenly occurred to me that now was not the time to cry. How could Yongyan know about the green calyx and Su Zhong. So what's going on with Su Zhong now.
I wiped away my tears. Cleared his throat. With a little hesitation, he asked Orori lightly: "That's right. E Gonggong. I just heard the emperor's decree that it was a noble man who had an affair with the guards. And the guard ......"
Orori smiled respectfully and said, "Ahem. Jin Guiren. Now it is rumored in the palace that the noble man had an affair with the guard. I heard that even the child in the belly of the Qiao nobleman before was the guard's. I heard that the guard of Xihua Gate is called Su Zhong. Now he's heard the wind and runs. He has not been found. But this Forbidden City is heavily guarded. He can't get out yet."
I nodded faintly with indifference on the surface. But I was relieved. Fufeng picked up the palace lantern and returned to Qiancuiyuan with heavy steps. Xiao Anzi just pushed open the courtyard door. A dark shadow suddenly flashed out. Fufeng and I took a step back in fright. Xiao Anzi boldly shouted, "Who is it. Get out of here."
Then the shadow came to him. Then the light took a closer look, and it turned out to be a bell. I was shocked. Hurriedly asked Xiao Anzi to close the courtyard door and guard outside the door to prevent anyone from entering. Su Zhong said in shock: "Noble Jin. How's she going?"
I sighed. Said slowly: "The green calyx has committed suicide by taking poison."
Su Zhong staggered back two steps. Crying, "I hurt her. I hurt her. She's dead. What is the point of my life?"
I coldly shouted, "Don't act like a coward. You can't die. I promised the green calyx to save you. I'll save you."
Su Zhong knelt on the ground with tears in pain. When he heard my words, he stopped crying. I hesitated for a moment. Busy saying to Fufeng, "That's right. Go and invite Imperial Doctor Lu over."
At night, the sporadic lights shine in the palace alley. Stretch the figure of four people. Su Zhong, dressed in the clothes of a eunuch, carefully dodged the roving guards behind me. I silently looked at Cong Mian behind me. I was convinced in my heart that he always had a way.
I could only go so far. I can't go forward after leaving Ningshou Gate. Su Zhong took two steps forward and turned back as if he remembered something. He kowtowed heavily and said, "Thank you for your life-saving grace. The minions are not unforgettable."
I smiled. Said lightly: "Thank you or thank you Green Calyx. Don't live up to her expectations. Live well."
Su Zhong nodded. Turn around and disappear into the night. Cong Mian has already bought his father-in-law who went out at the small south gate like that time. Sent Su Zhong out.
Cong Mian looked at me silently from the side. There seems to be confusion in the eyes. There seems to be pity. I smiled and said, "Probably because of the same sickness. I'll help him."
Silent night. Two figures disappeared at either end of the road.
